FOR EACH STATEMENT trigger ? - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi there

I am trying to get an example of SET BASED trigger logic with FOR EACH 
STATEMENT, but I cannot find any example involving the pseudo table NEW 
(or OLD) in the trigger function SQL statement.

Let me give you a real life example.

Suppose we have the above table :

CREATE TABLE T_PRODUIT_DISPO_PDD
(PRD_ID         INT         NOT NULL, PDD_BEGIN      DATE        NOT NULL, PDD_END        DATE, PDD_QUANTITY   FLOAT
  NOT NULL);
 

We want to never have more thant one PDD_END = NULL for the same PRD_ID.

The assertion we can do is :

ALTER TABLE T_PRODUIT_DISPO_PDD   ADD CONSTRAINT CK_PDD_PRD_FIN_UNIQUENULL      CHECK (NOT EXISTS(SELECT 0
         FROM   T_PRODUIT_DISPO_PDD                        WHERE  PDD_FIN IS NULL                        GROUP  BY
PRD_ID                       HAVING COUNT(*) > 1))
 

Which is not supported by PG

So I wuld like to do this with a FOR EACH STATEMENT trigger and not by a 
FOR EACH ROW.

Here is the code I try :

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_UNIQUE_NULL_PRD_END() RETURNS trigger AS
$code$
DECLARE n_rows integer;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO n_rows
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 0             FROM   T_PRODUIT_DISPO_PDD             WHERE  PRD_ID IN(SELECT NEW.PRD_ID
                FROM   NEW) AS T               AND  PDD_END IS NULL             GROUP  BY PRD_ID             HAVING
COUNT(*)> 1);
 
IF ( n_rows IS NOT NULL )   THEN RAISE EXCEPTION 'Violation de la contrainte d''unicité sur le 
couple de colonne PRD_ID + PDD_FIN';   ROLLBACK TRANSACTION;
END IF;
RETURN NULL;
END
$code$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE

Which produce an error !

Of course I can do that with a FOR EACH STATEMENT like this one :

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F_UNIQUE_NULL_PRD_FIN() RETURNS trigger AS
$code$
DECLARE n_rows integer;
BEGIN
SELECT 1 INTO n_rows
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 0             FROM   T_PRODUIT_DISPO_PDD             WHERE  PRD_ID = NEW.PRD_ID               AND
PDD_FINIS NULL             GROUP  BY PRD_ID             HAVING COUNT(*) > 1);
 
IF ( n_rows IS NOT NULL )   THEN RAISE EXCEPTION 'Violation de la contrainte d''unicité sur le 
couple de colonne PRD_ID + PDD_FIN';   ROLLBACK TRANSACTION;
END IF;
RETURN NULL;
END
$code$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE

CREATE TRIGGER E_IU_PRD   AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE   ON T_PRODUIT_DISPO_PDD   FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE
F_UNIQUE_NULL_PRD_FIN();


But it is absolutly not that I Want !!!!

Thanks
